It should be possible.  You need to tell *pppconnect to use the right
device in DeviceFS (RO's version of /dev) - do *cat devices: to see what
devices you have available.  Unfortunately I've failed to get the bush box
to dial on the command line, otherwise it would be easy to hack.

(I suppose grepping the ROMs for the pppconnect command might to it...)
